Chapter 14: Chapter 0014 Mass Grave
It was about two o'clock in the afternoon when I finished eating with Zhang Jinya. Because we had to stay at Zhang Jinya's place for a while, we simply followed Zhang Jinya to his house after dinner. Fortunately, his house was big enough with several bungalows, which was enough for us to live in.
After Zhang Jinya arranged the three of us in the bungalow in the southeast, he left on his own, saying that he was going out to buy some things and might not be back before dinner in the evening, so he let us make our own arrangements.
As soon as Zhang Jinya left, Uncle Li started to nag me that I agreed too impulsively. This guy surnamed Zhang was obviously not a good person. If I agreed to take him to rob tombs, it would be difficult to get away in the future.
For this, I could only smile bitterly. It seemed that my ambiguous words were too suggestive, and even Uncle Li misunderstood.
But is it okay not to give such hints?
Zhang Jinya was so aggressive that he even pried off the gold tooth in Zongzi's mouth and stuffed it into his own mouth. If you don't give him some sweet treats, will he do things for you? I can only delay it for now and take it one step at a time.
I told Uncle Li about my idea. Uncle Li thought about it and felt that there was really no better way. He could only sigh with embarrassment.
It can be seen that Uncle Li didn't seem to want me to get too close to Zhang Jinya. He arranged for me to be more cautious in the future. He himself was going to go back to Taiyuan this afternoon and ask for a long vacation from school for me. After all, I couldn't go back for a while, and the antique shop my dad left for me couldn't be left there. My source of income still depended on that shop.
As for Zhou Jing, Uncle Li let him stay with me. Although this kid didn't get along with me, he had real skills. His face-reading skills were accurate. If he stayed with me, my safety would be guaranteed.
I thought it made sense, so I agreed. I don't care about my studies. College is basically free, and there are not so many constraints. At most, I can give the teacher some money during the exam and pass it. In the end, I just need a diploma. What I can't let go of is the store my father left for me. I rely on it for food and drink. After all, the store is the only thing my father left me. Keeping it can also give me a thought.
In this way, I chatted with Uncle Li for more than two hours. When it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, I went out to see Uncle Li off. When I went back, I couldn't help feeling a little empty. Uncle Li was the only person who really helped me after my father passed away. After he left, I really had to face those ghosts on my own. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel lost, but fate was like this, and I had no better way.
After returning to Zhang Jinya's house, I was also a little hungry. After taking Zhou Jing to a small restaurant next door to eat a bowl of noodles, we went back to the house to sleep. After a bumpy journey, I was really a little tired.
I don't know if it's because of the good Feng Shui of Zhang Jinya's house, but I slept very soundly this time. I slept for three or four hours in a blink of an eye. It was not until a little after eleven thirty in the evening that I was awakened by a knock on the door.
I got down to the ground in a daze and opened the door. I saw Zhang Jinya standing outside with a tired face. I didn't know where this guy had been. His clothes were torn in several holes. Looking at the hairy cracks, he must have been torn. There were five blood-red nail marks on his face. He looked very embarrassed.
When I saw his appearance, I was a little confused. I couldn't help asking him what he had been doing and why he was like this.
Zhang Jinya waved his hand a little irritably and said, "I met a few old women who didn't cooperate with the work. It's nothing. Go and put on your clothes now. I'll take you to a place later."
Is this guy's face scratched by the old women?
I was happy, but also a little suspicious. I guess this guy must have offended someone again, otherwise, how could he just grab his face? But seeing that he was depressed, I didn't want to provoke him, so I asked him where he was taking me in the middle of the night?
"Don't talk so much nonsense, can I hurt you?"
Zhang Jinya was in a bad mood and said directly: "Do you want to live? If you want to live, follow me and I'll find you a wife!"
What does talking about a wife have to do with whether I live or not?
I was a little puzzled, but thinking about the hexagram that Mr. Zhou told me two days ago, the hexagram said that my wife palace was faintly glowing, and there might be a marriage in the near future. Could it be that this hexagram was applied to Zhang Jinya?
But it was quite strange to go to see a wife in the middle of the night, and I had never heard that Zhang Jinya was a matchmaker.
However, I just thought about these thoughts in my mind. Although I was not very happy, I could only turn around and go back to the house after hearing Zhang Jinya say that this was related to my survival.
After I packed up and took the Baipi Knife and the Faqiu Seal out, Zhang Jinya was already waiting in the yard. I don't know where he got a motorcycle from. There was a big black dog following behind him, which was about 1.78 meters tall if a person stood up. The body hair was very thick, and the eyes were like copper bells. It was very scary.
When Zhang Jinya saw me coming out, he immediately pulled the big black dog and pointed at me: "Heizi, follow him in a while, understand?"
"Woof!"
The big black dog barked and ran directly towards me, surrounded me and sniffed for a while, and drooled on my trouser legs.
I have never seen such a ferocious dog in my life. I was so scared that my calves were cramping and I dared not move. If such a big dog bit me, I would be skinned even if I didn't die. I was furious: "Zhang Jinya, what do you mean?"
"What are you yelling about? I asked it to protect you!"
Zhang Jinya pouted and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you are a member of the Ge family, I wouldn't bother to let Heizi protect you. Why don't you know what's good for you? Heizi is not an ordinary dog, he is a mastiff, really... A real mastiff, you know? I spent a lot of effort to breed it! "
After Zhang Jinya said that, I understood it. There has been a saying in the folk since ancient times that "nine dogs have one mastiff", which means that when a female dog gives birth to a puppy, the dog breeder locks the nine puppies in one place and does not give them food or water for a month. In order to survive, these puppies will fight each other. When they are released, the last puppy left is a mastiff. This thing is extremely ferocious. Not only can it chase after wolves, but it can also fight a few times even if it encounters a male lion!
This Heizi should be that kind of mastiff, but I didn't feel at ease at all. Instead, I was more scared. When I heard Zhang Jinya call me to get on the car, I quickly sat on his motorcycle.
Zhang Jinya didn't care about Heizi. He started the motorcycle and rushed out of the yard. Heizi also ran fast and followed behind without being left behind.
In this way, Zhang Jinya rode his motorcycle and took me directly to a small hill outside the city before finally stopping. At the foot of the hill was a wasteland.
I was also wondering, didn't this guy say he would find me a wife? Why did he run to this remote place? As a result, before I could ask, Zhang Jinya dragged me off the car and stuffed something in my trouser pocket without saying a word.
Because it was dark at this time and there were no street lights in the place where we were, I didn't see clearly what he stuffed in my trouser pocket. Out of curiosity, I took the thing out of my trouser pocket. When I took a closer look, I felt sick immediately.
The thing this guy stuffed in my trouser pocket was actually a sanitary napkin!
And it was a used sanitary napkin!
Looking at the bloody mass on it, I almost vomited it directly. I threw it away quickly, and said to Zhang Jinya angrily: "You are a pervert, don't drag me into it, okay? I don't have your hobby!"
"You idiot."
Zhang Jinya glared at me, bent down to pick up the sanitary napkin I threw away and stuffed it into my hand: "Don't throw it around. I went to the women's bathroom several times in the afternoon to get this thing. It took a lot of effort. Don't think it's dirty. This thing is called Red Dragon, which can ward off evil spirits. Put one on your chest, and ordinary dirty things will not dare to approach you!"
So that's what happened!
I looked at Zhang Jinya with some doubts: "Did you go to the women's bathroom again in the afternoon to get this sanitary napkin, and there happened to be someone in the bathroom, so your face was scratched?"
Zhang Jinya waved his hand: "Don't be too moved."
Moved ass.
I cursed inwardly, but I understood it. When we came here, the guide told us that Zhang Jinya was not a good person and he would go to the women's restroom every now and then. Could it be that he was here to get this "red dragon"?
I felt like I was screwed, but I heard that this thing could ward off evil spirits, so I could only suppress my nausea and stuff it into my trouser pocket. I felt so uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to find a wife!"
Zhang Jinya came up to me with a smile, and he took Heizi to the hill with my shoulder. I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that his smile was a bit malicious.
This mountain is not very high, it's just a hill, but the forest inside the mountain is very dense, so the mountain road is not easy to walk.
I don't know if it's my illusion, but I feel that the mountain is particularly cold and gloomy. If Zhang Jinya hadn't been there, I would have turned around and ran away. After experiencing several strange things, I have a shadow on this chilly feeling. After reading the book "The Secret Art of Hairui", I learned that any place with such gloomy and gloomy yin energy is particularly strong, and the chance of encountering evil spirits is particularly high.
I followed Zhang Jinya with some trepidation, and took a long time to go around the mountain road. Finally, I got out of the dense forest. Suddenly, the scene in front of me was clear. When I saw the surrounding scene clearly in the dim moonlight, I was stunned.
What appeared in front of us was a large piece of wasteland, with small mounds of high and low everywhere, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
Although I didn't have much experience, I also knew what this place was - those small mounds didn't seem to be formed naturally. It was obviously a small earthen grave piled up by people. There was no tombstone. This was clearly a mass grave!
This kind of place is mostly where some unclaimed people who died suddenly are buried. They just wrap them in a shroud and dig a pit and bury them. When there are too many people like this, a mass grave is formed. The "Fa Qiu Secret Art" says that this kind of place is particularly yin, and those who died suddenly are mostly resentful, so the possibility of forming lonely ghosts is the highest. Therefore, the possibility of encountering evil spirits in such a place is simply ridiculous.
I heard my grandfather say before that one of his friends slept in a mass grave after getting drunk. As a result, someone kept talking in front of his ears at night. After listening to ghosts all night, he was so scared that he ran away when he woke up. He got seriously ill when he went home. The doctor couldn't tell what the disease was. He invited two Taoist priests to see him. As a result, the Taoist priests were scared away as soon as they entered the house. Not long after, the man died!
Doesn't Zhang Jinya, this bastard, know that my horoscope is weak? He brought me to the mass grave in the middle of the night. He is really looking for trouble for me!
There were tens of thousands of horses running wildly in my heart, so I grabbed Zhang Jinya and asked him what he meant.
Zhang Jinya's eyes turned evil, and he grinned at me at that time: "What can I do? Of course, I will bring you to a blind date and find you a wife!"
